3 tours avant de sortir le drapeau rouge, une piste lamentable (alors que des pistes c’est pas ce qui manque en GB!!) selon les pilotes présents, c’est sûr qu’on a pas fini d’en entendre parler…
Courage à Mel, j’espère qu’il va bien se rétablir…
From Dixon’s FB.
First surgery at 3am this morning to straighten Mels hand went well, surgeons meet at 9am to discuss next operation at 12 noon, Mel now remembers what happened, the bike next to him pitched up in the air and the bottom of his sprocket came down on mel like a chainsaw, he actually was still on the bike, he is with the top surgeon who know he’s a top sportsperson.
Update 3, Mel had a 6 hour operation on the bones in the back of his hand, it was very crushed and many small broken pieces, also the surgeons had to operate on the arm to relieve the damage. A further 8 hours of surgery including skin graft and muscle structure is planned for Monday, we can only pray Mels strength and determination shown on the track will get him though this traumatic time. In all my years of GP’s with so many injured riders I have never Seen such horrific damage, after a career best 6th overall last week in the GP to this injury is cruel justice.
Manifestement, ça s’étripe allègrement…
The below was posted on facebook by Acuevents. The female doctor in the crowd replied to it and her post was deleted magically. The post was screenshot though.
Joint statement from ACU Events and the Organising Club regarding round one of the Maxxis ACU British Motocross Championship last Sunday.
Firstly, we would wish all three riders who sustained injuries at the event on Sunday a full and speedy recovery. Obviously, the most high profile injury was that of Mel Pocock and there are some facts that the Club would wish to make clear.
* The Medical Cover at the event was above the minimum requirement for an ACU International event and there were TWO Paramedics (plus Medical Centre, two Ambulances and appropriate staff) in attendance from 8.15am onwards.
* The Club is not in a position to make medical comments but we have been told that Mel was not administered certain drugs at the circuit for medical reasons which include the possibility that if an immediate operation was needed upon arrival at the hospital this would have been counter-productive.
* The Club fully stand by the expertise of the Medical Team on hand and it is noted that even when a frontline County Ambulance Team arrived at the circuit they still remained in situ and stabilised the situation before transportation to hospital.
* As Mel and others have posted comments on Social Media sites, the Club feels it would not be appropriate to make any further comment on this incident. The Club have made daily enquiries into his progress since the injury.
The club also notes some other comments regarding the event, especially with reference to riders and teams who arrived at the circuit on Saturday without passes to gain entry and were given the choice of waiting for the appropriate passes to arrive from their Team Manager or pay the normal admission fee. The Club feel that this was a reasonable solution given that this is an age old problem which SOME teams have misused in the past.
The Club accept that this may not have been an ideal venue for the event (especially after the deluge of rain which fell on Friday) with the limited paddock parking and accept full responsibility for this and apologise to some riders whose parking area was not up to standard. However, there were no vehicles needing to be towed in or out of the venue and with 20mm of rain on Friday there are very few circuits in the UK where the event would not have been cancelled.
The ACU have set a date of Wednesday 25th March for an Enquiry into the whole of this event and a further statement will be issued regarding this in due course.
Clerk of the Course, Brian Higgins concludes by saying that a team of workers were on site from the Tuesday onwards, working from 7am till dusk every day and whilst he is happy to shoulder responsibility and accept constructive criticism himself, it does have a counter effect on club members who worked so hard to ensure the event ran. – See more at: https://www.mxgb.co.uk/article.php?id=810#sthash.z9p4SRRn.JMkS1pLS.dpuf
ben en même temps, un pilote de MX sans pouce à la main droite et globalement une main bien éclatée, il peut se mettre à la retraite …
